Dirty harry (case study)

This case captures the problem of police corruption in Libya as one of the most challenging issues that is developing in the country. Based on the 1971 film Dirty Harry,the main character was played by Inspector Dirty Harry Callahan who used torture as a tool in order to find out the location of a kidnapped girl. Dirty here does not mean an actual torture, but it contains beating confessions out of suspects, making false arrests, stopping and searching without proper cause, and using threats and coercion to obtain evidence as done in the Libyan police force. This raises the matter of the morality of utilizing force to extract information from suspects. In Libya, the police misuse their right to utilize force, or noble cause corruption in the form of dirty hands or dirty means, a specific matter within policing that raises ethical problems. Ethical problems in Libya also arise in general police job, and police corruption can occur in a variety of situations involving police power or in day to day communications between public and the police.
